Watch: Taylor Swift fever hits London as the Eras tour comes to Wembley Stadium

The singer songwriter is set to perform three times this weekend before returning to the capital for five dates in August.

With Swifties expected to take over public transport as they head to Wembley, what does the average Londoner think of the pop Icon?

Chrissie, from Sydenham in south east London said: “I liked her! I like her politics. She criticises Trump which is always a thumbs up from me. But I don’t know a lot about her music.” 

Sala from Dulwich thinks Taylor is “fantastic”. She said: “She’s brillliant, you know? She’s very talented and what she writes, everyone can relate to. So I think she is just a lyrical genius.” 

However not everyone was a Swiftie. Chloe who had previously seen Taylor during her Redemptions tour said: “She’s okay…I like her old stuff but her new stuff isn’t really for me.” 

After hearing that Taylor Swift is thought to bring in over £300 million for the London economy, Chloe added: “Wow. That’s a lot for London. I mean the tickets were pretty pricey! My friend paid £100 and something just for at the top.” 

The estimated £300 million total boost to London’s economy was calculated using data from UKInbound’s Tourism Statistics for 2018, which showed that each domestic and international tourist to the UK generated about £396 to the UK economy that year, with the individual spent figure then adjusted to bring it in line with inflation
